Code2000 specimen from Geez Archive

James Kass's pan-Unicode TrueType font from 1998, covering an exceptionally broad range of Unicode blocks including Ethiopic, Latin and dozens of other scripts in a single file of over 34,000 glyphs.

About

Designed with the ambition of representing every character assigned in Unicode, Code2000 remains one of the most expansive single-file fonts ever produced. Its 34,801 glyphs span scripts from Ethiopic to Linear B, making it a long-standing reference resource for multilingual and symbol-heavy projects. The design prioritises broad coverage over typographic refinement, though Kass maintained a consistent stylistic register across the many scripts included.

Classification

Code2000 is a pan-Unicode symbol and multi-script font covering an exceptionally wide range of Unicode blocks including Ethiopic, Latin and numerous other scripts. It resists easy categorisation within standard type categories; 'display' is used as the closest available match given its symbolic and utility nature.
